What you need

  • 6+ years in security engineering with deep, hands-on data security experience: encryption, tokenization, access control design, key management
  • Strong command of AWS security primitives (IAM, KMS, S3 security, VPC controls)
  • Experience securing a modern data stack: Snowflake or a comparable warehouse, plus relational databases in production
  • You've designed and shipped access control systems, not just configured them. Row/column-level security, ABAC/RBAC, access brokering
  • Fluency in at least one language for automation (Python, Go, Ruby, or similar)
  • Comfortable in a regulated environment

Nice to have

  • Experience securing data access for AI/LLM systems and agentic workloads
  • Tokenization at scale in fintech or payments
  • Audit logging and data access monitoring you built yourself, not bought
  • Privacy engineering depth: data mapping, retention, deletion pipelines, cross-border transfer controls
  • Consumer fintech or financial services background

What you get

  • Base Range $268,000 — $321,000 USD

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of remote work options or flexibility
  • The role requires significant experience and expertise in a specialized area of security engineering
  • The company is in a fast-scaling phase which may imply a dynamic and potentially high-pressure work environment
